Design of fall detection system with floor pressure and infrared image

Due to the advancement of technology and medicine, people begin to pay more attention to the quality improvement of health care. Many researches show that the fall accident occupies 60% of all accidents in a home. The fall accident may cause the condition of an elder deteriorated or producing complications. As a result, it increases the burden of a family and seriously wastes medical resources from the society. Thus, preventing the fall accident and detect it immediately is one of the important topics regarding the quality improvement of health care.
